Have your girlies got names apart from No 1 No 2 etc? I wish I could find some lawn under the icy mess left of the clinging snow to give them some grass {cry}

When I first got the recent one's I could tell them apart from my existing hen well, now haven't a clue, they're all big !!

Think they need to lay more, get a bit of weight off them !!

How 'gingerly' they are taking that rice out of your hand, my girls think that fingers are food too! They are entitled to be tubby at the mo with this cold I reckon?

Oooo, look at me, last post in March :oops:

Thought I'd pop this photo in of one of my chooks getting stuck into some over ripe plums squelched up in my hand.

They all seem to love them. I don't go over the top with them but have alway had the theory that they only eat what they know is OK.

Haven't lost any through food extras yet anyway!

PS. I took the stones out !

Hi Sandy.

Not sure if to start a new one or just take the '2013' off the heading and let it continue, could be better continuity.
